Noble Prize Winner Explains JWST vs The Crisis in Cosmology
The Hubble Tension is one of the most exciting mysteries in modern day science. Different methods give different results for the expansion of the Universe. So, how can we solve this and can James Webb help us with that? Or will it make things even worse? Finding out with Physics Noble Prize laureate, Dr Adam Riess.

First I listened then I watched this interview, very interesting. I liked your comment at the end Fraser about being patient and give these scientists time to resolve these things. Problem is at nearly 78 I feel I probably don't have enough time to wait for the answers, I need to know now. However I am a very patient person luckily. Thank you so much for the interview>
Excellent interview. Is the Hubble constant really a constant? If the CMB gives a value at the start of the universe and cephid variables and type 1A supernovas cover only the last 1% or so then there's 99% in-between where it hasn't been measured. Effectively the latter methods have only measured the value in about 1 millionth the volume of the observable universe so perhaps it's too early to call it constant?
Yes, you are correct. Fraser time for a fix up. spell checkers don't understand this.
I believe "Nobel" is misspelled in both title and description?
